Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, this is from DeAndre on Steve HARVFM.
DeAndre says, I'm seventeen years old and my mother just
got remarried. Now I don't have a problem with her
new husband. However, he is insisting that I call him dad.
I have a dad already. I love my pops and
he is very involved in my life. I don't think
(00:21):
it's cool that I'm being asked to put my real
dad to the side. How do I tell Dad number
two to chill out?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, well, listen to this man. I understand what you're saying.
And the advantage that you have is you have a
great relationship with your father. Oftentimes that's not the case.
So you are very very fortunate that even though it
didn't work out between your parents, your father is still
very much in your life. That's a great thing. Yes,
(00:52):
there's no problem, but remember this and you say you
don't have.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
A problem with him.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
A lot of times when you blend in a family,
what the confusion comes in as the kids is you
know you can actually love two people. You can and
it's okay to love two people. If this new husband
is being good to you and treating you family, then
just had the best relationship you can with him, and
you always have a relationship with your father, because you
(01:17):
just said you have a great relationship with him, so
good kudos to that, But kudos to the man that
also steps in to take in the space of gaps,
because a lot of men who step into women's lives
who have children, they deserve a plaque for doing that.
So it could be an advantage to have these two
men in your life. If I was you, I can
understand you. It's not saying that's not your dad. What
(01:41):
what's the alternative? What do you want to call him?
What you want to call him Roger, something like this,
you know, or you could just call him something, give
him a secondary name, a title like a pop or
something like that, or.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You know something.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You know that wouldn't hurt you know, I mean, I
understand the guy wants to hurt really well, you ain't
gotta call him dad.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Dad means a lot, Yeah, it really. Dad is more
than father, Yes it is. I said. Oftentimes any man
can be a father.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
That's all you gotta do is make the donation to
the egg and you become a father.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Take a special man to be a dad.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
All right, we have time for another one, Steve, thank
you for that. This is from Tiffany and Steve Harvey FM.
She says, I've been seeing this guy for a couple
of months and things are going really well. He's thoughtful,
funny and genuinely kind, but he doesn't want to have sex.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
He says it's because he thinks we have something special
and doesn't want to rush it, which I'm sweet, but
it's also the longest I've ever been in a relationship
without things getting physical. I don't want to pressure him,
but I can't help wondering if something else is going on.
How do I know if he's been sincere or if
this is some kind of red flag.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
It's man, Yeah, nobody want a good man.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, it's only been two months.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It's only been two months. He hybe?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Maybe he waiting on you to, you know, see if
you fall in love with him. So when he you
finally do get to it, he you know, maybe he
you know, sometimes you need to let a woman be
in love with you before you give it to it,
because what you got ain't really you know.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
All what that wait, repeat what you just said.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, sometimes you have to wait.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Hope a woman fall in love with you or what
you've got all.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That, and that sounds like that's what she's worried about.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, okay, I don't think that's the case.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Though, Oh what do you think it is?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I think what Tommy just said is some women just
don't want a good man and as good man qualities, Mandy,
guy could be just treating you super respectful.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That's very true. I ain't never no two months that
I had no sex. Yeah, we doing exactly. Yeah, I
ain't ready to love Steve. She ready to have six?
Ain't ready?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
All right, guys, thank you. Coming up next, we'll have
more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show twenty minutes after.
